Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission (PMTCT) Among Women Experiencing Depression in Malawi
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV virtually eliminates transmission of HIV from mothers to their infants. Adherence to PMTCT (i.e., to antiretroviral therapy, infant prophylaxis, and exclusive breastfeeding) during pregnancy and the postpartum period is challenging, with evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) showing suboptimal adherence and persistent viremia among …
Evaluating the Role of Psilocybin Monitors in Psilocybin Therapy for Treatment Resistant Depression
Psilocybin, the chemical component of "magic mushrooms", has been administered with psychological support in several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) showing large and sustained antidepressant effects. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of psilocybin monitors on the effects of psilocybin therapy in adults with treatment resistant depression.
Cognitive Impact Associated With Surgery For Gastric Or Esophageal Cancer
The primary objective of this observational study is to investigate the incidence of Post Operative Delirium (POD) after gastroesophageal cancer surgery. Secondary objectives are to investigate the relationship between POD, preoperative depression, frailty, quality of life, malnutrition and sarcopenia. Participants identified with POD will be asked (at the routine follow-up …
Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Pupillometry in Identifying Risk of Postoperative Opioid-induced Respiratory Depression in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomy
This study will evaluate whether quantitative pupillometry measurements can be used to identify children at risk for postoperative opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) following tonsillectomy. Opioid-induced respiratory depression is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication that can occur after surgery, and current monitoring approaches are limited in their ability to predict …
